    Shade obviously makes a difference so that is a factor. I haven't seen the shade DJ mentioned so I can't comment on it.

    Of course core fans will always love their team's colors. But I'm talking about having broader appeal. Reality is that orange is not a color that looks good on the majority of people. So if I'm creating a clothing line I'd want as many potential customers as possible. That core group will buy merchandise regardless. They'll need gameday gear and will wear obnoxious colors there regardless. But if I want to sell even more merchandise than I'm going to focus on producing merchandise that people will wear outside the stadium as well. If you watch the NFL limited jersey video (I think that was it), they talk about that as their specific focus. That orange jersey may look fine at the stadium, but the fat guy at bar wearing orange looks like a pumpkin. It's eye catching, but not in a positive way.

    Now that I think about it, aside from that brief but popular alternate jersey, there never was much orange. Just the stripes.
    Changing the stripes ( absolutely love the new ones ) really cut down on our secondary color. You do see more blue in the uniform, but it's just slightly bolder on the stripe. The big change that goes unnoticed ,however , is the outlining of the names.

    It does seem we only have one prominent color and two secondary ones. I can't deny the new uni's would look better with some orange in there. Perhaps if they had a similar yet inverted stripe..... with orange inside and aqua out.

    I've always thought of the Dolphins as being primarily white and aqua. I know every team has white, but I always felt that it was different for Miami. Kind of how I associate the Raiders with black. I don't see the white jersey for Miami as just the alternate they wear when the other team has their primary color on. Maybe it was all those home games where we wore white during those hot 1:00 pm games? Whatever the reason I see white as part of our iconic look. When the new uniform was revealed and it looked so clean and had so few other colors breaking up the white, I thought it was perfect. I think that's a big part of what made it feel classic to me. So I hate those few calls to add more orange. I think that would just make it busy and disrupt the classic look. I know the old unis had those thin orange stripes, but they feel old rather than classic for me. I see the elimination of those with just the orange swoosh as an updated look to a classic uniform.

    And IMO any orange or navy or even grey alternate jersey would just be a temporary fad to grab some merchandise cash. The orange would be my least favorite. It feels like a college look to me rather than a professional look (I'm obviously not a broncos fan). I wouldn't have much desire for any of them, but I see navy and grey as better color matches for aqua. I think I just prefer harmony to contrast.

    Wow Your right, white really is a main color. I never thought of it that way. We did always look best in all whites IMO. The white face mask is the one thing I was begging for too.

    I guess you could say the same for Indy, Arizona too.

    I could see Indy as I picture Unitas in white, but I never would of thought of Arizona as team with white as a primary color.

    I think the white face mask would have looked sweet.

    Dallas would be the only team I'd associate with white as much as us.

    I don't associate white with any team as much as Miami, but there are a few teams I do associate with white on some level. Indy and Dallas are probably the next two I'd most associate with white then probably the Browns a slight bit just based on old Jim Brown clips. But with all three of those I think of blue, grey and brown respectively first. With Miami I think of white first then aqua.

    Side note, I wish Miami would have their own endzone instead of the generic "MIAMI" but with their new word mark I don't think that will happen anytime soon

    This. Bengals logo is my least favorite. Reminds me of the tiger in Aladin. Well the jets have one of the worst logos in the NFL IMO. And idk why but recently I started to hate the giants ny logo. Pats have an ugly one too. Yeah the packers logo is classic but it's also ugly. Browns are just a helmet. To be honest I'm not a fan of a lot of the NFL logos. Of the main 4 sports I think the NFL has the worst. Just my opinions

    I remember when Buffalo came out with their new uniforms there was talk about how much the combination of the digital age of enhanced colorized fabrics and the age of high definition really made their jerseys pop out on the TV screen. I suspect these bad boys are going to look really nice on the big screen in a few weeks also.

    I know not everyone is sold, but damn, the entire new look is really beautiful. Logo, helmet, unis, everything. It's all opinion but they really hit a home run.

    Ya, I'm not talking about the filter. Look at this one...

    [​IMG]

    Even look at this screen shot I just took from the official Miami Dolphins shop. See how they have different colored aqua jerseys? The color isnt the same....

    [​IMG]

    The really expensive one looks like its the correct color... but the less expensive ones are different color. Whats up with that? Do I have to buy the expensive jersey just to get it the correct team color?!?

    wait till the official / whatever Nike calls the authentic jersey comes out (Nike Elite). It's going to look different in the pictures yet again because the material/construction is different. The Limited jersey in that price chart pic looks shiny. Wait till you see the water repelling fabric of the Elites.

    Usually websites photoshop images so often it will look a bit off, I really wouldn't look too much into it. I have shirts as well and they're the same shade as the jersey.

    Not a great picture, but regardless, you can easily tell the difference between the new color and the old color. I now wear that old Tannehill jersey to play football every weekend.

    We'll see come next week how bad or good these things look. I'm still not liking them, but we'll see next week when we see them in a game.
